It's also at times almost ploddingly literal; these characters are more metaphors than actual people, and they talk in axioms and slogans drawn from talking points rather than dialogue.

This subtle, unexpected irregularity is one of the secrets to why these paintings always feel subliminally and disturbingly disjunctive: quiet, yet with an undercurrent of animation; ploddingly realistic yet full of imaginative invention.

While the other databases the officers list are in some ways unsurprising — they're mostly federal government systems that run, sometimes ploddingly, on mostly federal government data — CLEAR, a sleek commercial product of Thomson Reuters, is different.

The Golden State Warriors' free-flowing turbo offense and Stephen Curry's rangeless riflery have both dominated and redefined the NBA for going on two years, now, which leaves Playoff LeBron's game—ploddingly insistent iso sets initiated 216 feet from the basket—looking downright antique.

" They called it a "space rock" "The Chain" because "the beat is joined by wa-guitar and funky-but-ominous sounding synthesiser. Everything goes crazy for a second until it gradually settles down into a great motorik groove, and a hugely base riff of warbling notes of moog and bubbling VSC3." Brown's vocals on the song refer to Time Captains, "synthesising the rays powering your brain...lone protons [and] cosmos cold socks." "Triangles" is a slower piece that has been compared to 1974-era Cluster "twilight stroll", with a "ploddingly simple drum machine groove and toy-town flickering synthesisers and guitars," wobbling through "a number of increasingly intense key changes before lurching to a stop.

Shepherd finely comments on Valla's advantage in the literary dispute: the power of irony and satire (making a sharp imprint on memory) versus the ploddingly heavy dissertation (that is quickly forgotten). These sportive polemics among the early Italian humanists were famous, and spawned a literary fashion in Europe which reverberated later, for instance, in Scaliger's contentions with Scioppius and Milton's with Salmasius. Erasmus, in 1505, discovered Lorenzo Valla's Adnotationes in Novum Testamentum (New Testament Notes), which encouraged him to pursue the textual criticism of the Holy Scriptures, free of all academic entanglements that might cramp or hinder his scholarly independence—contributing to Erasmus's stature of leading Dutch Renaissance humanist.Marvin Anderson, "Erasmus the Exegete" (1969), Concordia Theological Monthly 40 (11): 722–746.

Kimmel described the work as a "ploddingly academic" book that revealed Scruton's "haughty disdain for experiences of the flesh". He suggested that Scruton was unaware of psychological research contradicting his views about fantasy and concluded that Scruton's defense of traditional morality was "elaborate yet utterly unconvincing". Sullivan wrote that the book, like Scruton's previous work, expressed its author's wish to make conservatism "a sexy research topic" and "reclaim lost intellectual ground by staging terror strikes into the heart of the enemy camp and then retreating." He credited Scruton with showing how "involuntary actions, such as a blush, a glance, or an erection, can be the most powerful signs of an acutely voluntary desire" and explaining "sexual hunger as an urge to enter conversation, rather than to assuage appetite, and of orgasm as an interruption of congress rather than its end".

In the second, we have > the irregular band of outsiders, players and others, who felt themselves > forced into literary and principally dramatic composition, who boast > Shakespeare as their chief, and who can claim as seconds to him not merely > the imperfect talents of Chettle, Munday, and others whom we may mention in > this chapter, but many of the perfected ornaments of a later time.George > Saintsbury, History of Elizabethan Literature, MacMillan, London, 1887, > pp.60-64 Saintsbury argues that the Wits drew on the ploddingly academic verse-drama of Thomas Sackville, and the crude but lively popular entertainments of "miscellaneous farce-and-interlude-writers", to create the first truly powerful dramas in English. The University Wits, "with Marlowe at their head, made the blank verse line for dramatic purposes, dismissed, cultivated as they were, the cultivation of classical models, and gave English tragedy its Magna Charta of freedom and submission to the restrictions of actual life only".
